Fox News' Political Insiders make some great points on the Obama Scandals

Fox News' Political Insiders on ScandalsThis is one of my favorite shows. Pat Caddell is awesome, and I found myself agreeing more than usual with Doug Schoen. Two excellent points were made on the show (starting around 3:30 into the interview).1) Why do we trust any agency, including the NSA, to investigate itself?2) 2,700 hundred abuses just in the Washington, DC area and for everyviolation there could be thousands of Americans who could be violated.On another topic, Schoen argued that Nixon is a piker compared to Obama on the abuse of power. One of the articles of impeachment against Nixon went after him for "musing" about using the IRS to attack his enemies. Obama's administration did more than Nixon even mused about.Contrast this discussion with a recent editorial in the Washington Post. The Post seems to want to argue that while he was clearly wrong in his frequentlyrepeated statements that there had been no abuses of power, they are unwilling to say that Obama lied. The implication is that he may have been frequently inaccurate, but the implication from the Post is that he didn’t necessarily deliberatelyliebecause he may not have known he was not telling the truth.The Fox News' Political Insiders are having none of this whitewashing. They clearly argue that the press is covering up for Obama and that Obama's lies are making it possible for him to completely undermine the rule of law in the US.

Is it possible that the Republicans are hoping to make enough gains in the 2014 elections so that they are in a more powerful position to impeach Obama and actually shove him the hell out? Or, is this just wishful thinking on my part? I'm certainly not any kind of expert but hasn't Obama crossed enough "lines" to be impeached by any rational calculation? Will he cause a "false flag" horrifying event to initiate marshal law to stop any impeachment activity? Is THAT why no one in congress is loudly calling for his ouster? Molon Labe!
